Situated in northern Kerala, just south of Kasargode,
Kannur is a beautiful district with deep forest, large
mountains and beautiful beaches. Kannur is best known for its handloom industry. Products from Kannur
have an unprecedented demand in the US, Europe and
Japan. Kannur is also known as a producer of 'Beedis' -
India's version of cigarillos and cigars!
The headquarters of the country's largest and best-run Beedi
Co-operative is based here.

Kerala is such a vast and diverse place that it is
impossible to fit everything about it onto a website!

our site even more informative, colorful and vibrant?
Or do you have a special little tit-bit or story about
the place you grew up in?
